Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Fill a saucepan with water, enough to cover the eggs by at least an inch, and add 1 teaspoon of salt to prevent cracking and to make peeling easier.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs one by one into the boiling water.
Let the eggs cook for exactly 6 minutes for a soft and runny yolk, or extend to 7 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice and cold water.
Once the cooking time is complete, use the slotted spoon to transfer the eggs directly into the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 2 minutes.
Gently crack the eggs all over and peel the shells under running water for easier handling.
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of salt, or refrigerate for later use.
